Seeking information on the following person. This is the only information I have on him. He was my grandmothers first husband.

DEATH AT COUNTY HOME

John Broughton died at the County Home yesterday afternoon. He was 88 years of age and had been an inmate of the Home ever since it was organized. He is survived by one daughter Mrs. Furman of Brookland. Burial will be made in St. Eulalia Cemetery

I am quite sure that this would be your Broughton:
Helen May Broughton married Arlow Dorwin Furman on Jan 30, 1911. It states that Helen May Broughton's parents were: Newton and Bessie Broughton Lawton??. May (listed as Mary in the 1900 census) is living with William and Mary Broughton listed as a step-sister. they were married c 1902, most likely in Potter Co. This family lived in the Brookland area. If you need any more info on the Furman family give me a call.
